leopard gecko.just check the caresheets on this site and other places such as kingsnake.com
plenty of info
eventually though,the leo will need something along the lines of a 20 long.bt a 10 will work for a while if you start with a neonate(baby)leopard

no housing different lizards together. leos are the easiest to handle out of all the lizards that were mentioned.

Another thing that wasnt mentioned was that house geckos dont make good pets. you can also get a crested gecko, but you need to work with them alot. or an armadillo lizard. you can keep them in a 10 gallon for most of thier life until they get a little bit bigger.Though they only get a 6 or 7 inches, that means you can have at least two. Another good side to them is that if you get a male and a female, you have no hastle with eggs, they bear live babies.
